Prez Sez

Our President Angelo Tata;

I have been running, guiding, and now maintaining the Club for the last 25 years I am an avid builder and flyer of all types of Radio Control Aircraft. I am an Intro Pilot with the Academy of Model Aeronautics and I enjoy the camaraderie of our Club members. I work hard in my retirement keeping the peace and caring for our exceptional flying field. We welcome you to visit and join our fine organization.

Please feel free to contact me below

with any questions or complaints.

Field Cleanup 2026

I would like to take a moment to echo the Secretary’s message and express my appreciation for all the members who came out to support the club.
First, I’d like to thank Ken Lenke, our secretary, for organizing and participating in the clean-up. His timing was ideal, and this effort has set us up well for the 2026 flying season.
The following people deserve recognition for their specific contributions
(in no particular order):
• Aleksey Lomov replaced the windsock and provided the club with a beautiful American Anniversary Flag.
• Charlie Cerino spent much of the morning working on the PVC fencing.
• George Bahler managed the crew that dismantled the old fencing and salvaged materials to rebuild the split rails in our area.
• Leonard Crawford cleared the overfly area by cutting down saplings that could have become troublesome if left unchecked.
• Jerry Blasczyk and I operated rollers on both the runway and the control line circle.
• Montgomery Moore repaired the orange safety fencing and assisted Charlie with fixing the rails.
• Joe Castaldi helped me get the old roller (“Titanic”) running again before joining Gary Busler and others to work on the split rail fencing.
• Eric Griffiths, Alan Sobieski, John Rude, and Dr. Bernard Lewin all participated in cleaning up along the roadway.
There is still more work ahead to ensure our flying site remains the best in the region.
Thank you all,
Angelo Tata, President, NEPRCC
